As for all mycoplasm's patients, their diagnosis of Mycoplasm pneumoniae is challenging because of cross-reactions. Our proposed ELISA is based on the selective depletion of non-specific Mycoplasm pneumoniae antigens using an adsorption technique.

In Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection, serology tests can generate good results, yet with low specificity because of immunological cross-reaction. The in-house antigen-capture ELISA, described in this paper, guarantees high species specificity and has been shown to be a reliable screening test for accurate diagnosis of M. pneumoniae.
